I was thinking about using this to paint my Bull Bar (brush guard) and Rock Rails, how do you think it will look / work in that application?

I used it in the cockpit area of my 97 jeep, it looks great and it has the feel of rhino liner. Even though its stood up to feet and shoes, it has taken some scratches when loading/unloading in the back...it works great for my application, but in my opinion, it's not as strong. If your brush guard is light use/decorative it will be great, if its heavy use probably not. Remember, success depends on prep of the surface!!!

People do this quite often. It would definitely look very coarse compared to something like powder coating but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It would probably be a good, rough look. Of course, you are going to have some wear as you would with any other finish if you grind your rock rails. Spraying the tub of my Wrangler may have been may best mod yet.

Paint might work if you lightly sanded the surface to roughen it up so paint will have something to grab onto.

The gas block though is what you'll need to look into. And maybe a gas tube. Not sure if gastube is gona have a slightly different bend in it or not.I've built several so far but not with a bull barrel yet. Let me know how she turns out.

It would do the job, but you'd go through a ton of sandpaper as it would probably gum up easily. I'd sand blast the paint instead, if you can get the equipment.

Yeah, it should work great! I usued this machine inside and outdoor with no problem. Make sure you that you clean it well and the paint should not be thick.

I just used it with Duracoat over the weekend. It worked fine except being my first time using one of these guns, I sprayed on too thin of material/too much air, so the paint dried before hitting the surface. I was trying to be a little careful, but I might need to redo the Duracoat now. Lesson learned, get the right air/material mixture.

Definately, that's the only type paint I've used it for so far. I used the gloss finish and it turned out like a fine grand piano finish! I was in a hurry to get it done so I didn't take the time to do much adjustment to the amount of paint it was spraying, just tested it on a large piece of cardboard and it was O.K. but a bit heavy. I went ahead and used it that way and it worked fine but I used a lot of paint, in fact I ran out of the quart I had bought for my small chain link fence project and bought another quart. I now have a grand piano finish on a chain link fence, kind of overkill for the first project with this paint sprayer. I will attempt to paint a house next so I will definately try to adjust the paint volume I spray for that and not overdo it and be wasteful.

I have used it. Worked great, looks awesome. Not sure what your painting, but 1 can was just enough to pain a small car door. I used this because it had the hardener "activator" and the glass looks like it was sprayed out of a gun

Okay so I totally trust J. Lesley answer because I havent used it. BUT! look at the rubbermaid handheld reveal. I used it lightly on my base boards (super high traffic, painted gloss) and they look like i REPAINTED them! awesome. and let me say we have three, big, messy dogs. good luck

I use it for pesticide & herbicide application, for which it is well-suited. I would think it would be effective for painting as well.

It's a good bumper, if you plan on using the bull bar though I'd recommend spraying some paint into the drain holes in the bottom of the bars plates that sit on the bumper. I had some rust residue after the first couple rains.

Sorry, I sent it back since I wanted something to blow out parts, etc.; however, that said, from what I saw of the item, it was well made and perfectly suited for the purpose of using with paint, solvents, so I would say it would probably work painting small areas.

I agree with the previous responder. I would be careful using something that aggressive on the finish. Have had great results with Bar Keepers helper when nothing else worked...particularly around rust.

Since it is a Roller not a sprayer, you might not get the result you are hoping for. If you are painting a relatively flat even surface you should be pleased.

Depending on the application test thinning it out and you shouldn't have any problems. I've used it on AR uppers and a few models with great results and a smooth finish.

Hi Jake. I think that it would be best to paint it. It has a non-reflective paint on it, making it hard to see. I hope that it works out. Enjoy it!! Pat King.

I purchased one for my Sand Rail. I had the opportunity to use it this weekend and it worked Great!!!
